Illuminate Counselling
Person-centred · Integrative · Evidence-based
Sessions are available online interntationally, and in Cape Town at my Wynberg office. Alternatively,where appropriate, sessions can be arranged in your own chosen space. For neurodivergent clients and family work, this sometimes means coming to you: working with a young person in their home, or supporting parents and child together in a space that feels safe and familiar.
I also offer online counselling to clients across South Africa, Europe, and the USA. Working online means I can pass on the benefit of the South African exchange rate, making quality counselling significantly more affordable for expats and international clients.
I work with people aged 7 and up. Where an issue with a minor is out of scope, I help parents/guardians identify an appropriate healthcare professional to ensure their child gets the support they need.
I work across a wide range of areas, with special interests in the areas listed below. As every person's context is different, I integrate a range of evidence-based approaches, adapted to suit your particular needs and goals.
When It Feels Too Much
Practical, non-judgemental, and trauma-informed support that meets you exactly where you are and helps you find your way back to safety and solid ground.
Wired Differently
Support tailored to how your specific brain actually functions, to build strategies, self-understanding, and confidence on your own terms. In addition to supporting children and teens with a neurodivergence, ADHD or other autism spectrum condition diagnosis, I also support their parents to manage stress, identify best parenting strategies, and navigate the educational and specialist-professional landscape.
Grief & Loss
Gentle, compassionate support as you navigate loss - whether of a loved one, a relationship, an identity, or a life you expected - at your own pace.
Navigating Change
Support through the uncertain in-between spaces - tweens & teens, leaving home, adulting, career shifts, becoming a parent, having babies and toddlers, identity changes, mid-life crises, and all the other transitions that reshape who you are.
Relationships
A space to strengthen connection, navigate conflict, and build the kind of relationship you want, whatever form that takes.
Unlocking Your Potential
Combining insights from cognitive science and neuroscience research with practical tools and individual support plans to help you perform at your best, without burning out in the process.
